Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Here it's sayin that Q is a point in between the end-points P & R. If we join P & R , it forms a line segment & Q is in the line segment PR. Hence PQ & QR are also line segments which combine to form line segment PR. So ,

PR = PQ + QR

Putting the given values of PQ ,QR & PR

=> 4x - 12 + 2x + 7 = 31

=> 6x - 5 = 31

=> 6x = 31 + 5

= 36

=> x = 36/6 = 6

Find the other endpoint of the line segment with the given endpoint and midpoint. Endpoint: (9,8) Midpoint (0,9)

shepuryov [24]

Answer:

(-9, 10)

Step-by-step explanation:

The location of the midpoint of a line with endpoint at ( $x_1,y_1$ ) and ( $x_2,y_2$ ) is given as (x, y). The location of x and y are:

$x = \frac{x_1+x_2}{2},y=\frac{y_1+y_2}{2}$

Given the endpoint (9,8) and Midpoint (0,9), the location of the other endpoint can be gotten from:

$0=\frac{9+x_2}{2}\\ \\9+x_2=0\\\\x_2=-9\\\\Also,9=\frac{8+y_2}{2}\\ \\8+y_2=18\\\\y_2=18-8\\\\y_2=10$

Hence the endpoint is at (x2, y2) which is at (-9, 10)

The cone and the cylinder below have equal surface area. True or false.

WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

The surface area of the cone is

$V=\pi r^2 +\pi rl$

$SA=\pi r^2 +\pi\times r\times 2r$

$SA=\pi r^2 +2\pi\times r^2$

$SA=3\pi r^2$

The surface area of the cylinder is:

$SA=2\pi r^2 +2\pi rh$

$SA=2\pi r^2 +2\pi\times r\times r$

$SA=4\pi r^2$

What is the median of the data set: {24, 31, 12, 38, 12, 15}A)12B)19.5C)24D)23.5

QveST [7]

Answer: B: 19.5

Step-by-step explanation:

This data set is an even data set meaning that you're going to have to add and divide, so you put your data set in ascending order (highest # to lowest #) so 12,12,15,24,31,38 its an even data set so you're going to put them in groups (remember your finding the median, the middle numbers) so you have 12,12 (one group) and 31,38 (another group) (basically make it even!!) so now you're left with the middle numbers, you have to add them and then divide them by 2 so (15+24) ÷2 and you get your answer !!
